A family owned business with a passion for horses, adventure and sharing their backyard with visitors.
Hunting, fishing, and diving in Tairāwhiti are more than sport - it’s how the East Coast rolls. Bush-clad valleys invite hunters to track deer, pigs, and goats, while along the shoreline surfcasters and rock fishers wait on kahawai and snapper. Offshore sport fishing boats chase kingfish, tuna, and big game, and rivers and backcountry streams deliver brown and rainbow trophy trout, with winter and spring bringing the best runs. Beneath the surface, Dive Tatapouri is world-famous for stingray encounters and reef ecology tours, while Māhia and nearby coves thrive with spearfishing, crayfish, and kina. Respect access, share the space, and you’ll find more than enough adventure to catch, release, or feast.
In Tairāwhiti, adventure isn’t just about thrills , it’s a way of life shaped by the coast. Ride a horse along windswept beaches, gather kaimoana with locals, camp out under the stars, or connect with guides who know the land and sea inside out. These stories become your itinerary, blending adrenaline with ease, and always grounded in respect.
